Home Health

There's no place like home, especially when you are recuperating from
surgery or an illness. Your own bed, your family and friends are familiar
and comforting. Being in your own home gives you a sense of independence,
privacy and control. Home health care is a safe and economical way to
receive the skilled care you need to deal with sudden or chronic health problems.

Citrus Valley Home Health was established to bring skilled home care and
health related services to residents of East San Gabriel Valley communities.
Our team of experienced caregivers is specially trained to help you regain
better health as quickly as possible so that you can return to a more
active and fulfilling lifestyle.

Unlike many other home health agencies, we share the same electronic medical
record system as Citrus Valley Medical Centers. In this way, we always
have the latest and most accurate information about you and your health.

Are Home Health Services Right For You?
Many different people choose home health services, but they all have one
thing in common. They know what kind of medical care is right for them,
and being at home gives them a special sense of peace and comfort.

By choosing Citrus Valley Home Health to meet your health care needs,
you can gain peace of mind, feel in control of your recovery and remain
closer to your family and personal support network.

Our staff works side-by-side with you in a culturally appropriate manner.
We are educators as well as health care professionals and pride ourselves
in helping you regain your health and independence.

What Makes Citrus Valley Home Health Agency Different?
One of the things our home health patients like is that they are considered
part of the treatment team and fully participate in their own care. Our
goal is to maintain or increase your level of wellness. We do this best
by working with you to identify treatment and care plans that meet your
needs and achieve the results your doctor wants.

Our staff is made up of highly trained professionals, and our nurses meet
the same standards as hospital nurses. Each of these professionals is
ready to work with you and provide vital services and education to help you:

regain strength and mobility

master activities for daily living

restore your speech and communication abilities

obtain needed medical equipment and supplies

manage your medications

follow specialized care regimens

We also serve as your liaison to the extended medical community, and often
consult with the medical directors and clinical specialists at the Citrus
Valley Heart Center, the Cancer Center, the Diabetes Education Program,
the Wound Care Department, and the Physical Medicine and Rehab Program.
So whether you need to contact other Citrus Valley professionals or outside
agencies, health services and support groups, we help make sure you receive
the assistance you need.

Are You Eligible for Home Health Services?
Citrus Valley Home Health serves adult patients who are homebound because
of a recent hospitalization or illness, need intensive skilled nursing
care, or suffer from a medical condition that requires intermittent or
regular assistance from a professional caregiver. If you are unsure about
whether you qualify for home health services, we encourage you to contact
your physician or call us directly at (626) 859-2266.

Arrangements for home health services can be made through a hospital’s
discharge planner or your own physician. Home health services must be
pre-approved by your insurance company, but the cost is usually covered
by most HMOs, private insurance, Medicare and Medi-Cal. We can handle
insurance verification for you and help with the coordination of insurance payments.

health experience as helpful and pleasant as possible. We emphasize compassionate
